Okay so this fully exceeded my expectations. I like the author’s writing style and they both have so many layers to them. I can't wait to read the other stories from this author!

I would like to thank netgalley and Free Form Productions for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

An enjoyable tennis romance.

I really enjoyed this story!

I thought that it had a good storyline and well developed characters.

Honesty plays a big part in this book along with decisions on when to tell and when to hold back, which weren't always done in the right order.

All comes good in the end and it was a great winner takes all story - it was a romantic and sexy read and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish

It is 4 stars from me for this one, highly recommended!

I have really been enjoying The Hustlers trilogy by Rowan Rossler. In book one, we met Morgan and Vandana, and in The Challenger, we got to know Chavez and Flynn more. If there's any way to accurately describe this series, it's jet-setting, spicy romances with powerful men. I can't wait to see what the final book in this series will be about, yet I also don't want it to end!

There was so much I loved about The Challenger. Flynn is a motivational speaker. Chavez Delgado is a tennis pro who wants what he wants. And when he sees Flynn at the therapist's office, he does what he needs to do to have her. I typically really enjoy reverse age gap stories, and I thought that it was so well done in The Challenger. Things were spicy between them and the chemistry became undeniable. I really enjoyed reading their story!

I also really loved seeing them on the court together! The tennis scenes are my favorite. As a lover of tennis myself, I'm making it my mission to find all the novels with tennis in them because I just really can't get enough!

Another thing that Rowan Rossler did so well in this story was the character development. There were so many layers to both Chavez and Flynn. Both of them have secrets. Both of them have demons in their past. Both of them are flawed. But everything works so well together to give us this story!

I also enjoy this being part of a trilogy so much. I really enjoyed checking back in with Vandana in this story, and I can't wait to see what Vandana and Flynn continue to do when book three comes out! This is an interconnected trilogy, so all books can be read as standalones, but I suggest you absolutely read all three!

It's so easy to read a book and think "wow, this needs to be a movie" after finishing the last page. But if this series was turned into a movie or tv show, it could be absolutely incredible! With the friends jet setting all over the world, the scenery would be like none other and the spicy scenes would light up the screen for sure!

Okay so this fully exceeded my expectations. The first book in the series ended and I had wanted to know so much more about the characters; luckily it continued in this story.

So this book focuses on Flynn who is a motivational speaker and author whose life is a bit of a lie and is casually starting to fall apart. She wants to get out of the motivational speaker realm and start writing mysteries. Well, one day she meets Chavez at her therapists office. He is a tennis player who recently had to deal with some family issues and took a break from tennis. He’s trying to start back up and go pro but he needs a coach. Flynn agrees to help coach him and they instantly have sparks.

This book was so good. It had great character development, romance plots, as well as a regular storyline that kept you intrigued from start to finish. I was so in love with their chemistry from the get go and so excited to see what became of their happenstance meeting. I cannot wait until the third book comes out later this year as it’s sure to be another epic and beautiful love story.

This just threw me in the air! It has the most amazing characters, and plot driven story, that was amazing! I did not know what to expect so I went in with no preconceived expectations. This was a great read and Holy smokes, the ending left me in happy tears. I LOVED IT!!!.

I was excited to read The Challenger by Rowan Rossler. I can't get enough of athletes falling in love.

But, unfortunately, I left this one as a DNF. Why? The characters and storyline just bored me. A lot.
